Particle Model of Matter Explained

The document discusses the differences between solids, liquids, and gases at the particle level. It explains that all substances are made up of particles that are attracted to each other to varying degrees and have kinetic energy that increases with temperature. The arrangement and movement of particles determines whether a substance is a solid, liquid, or gas, with solids having a fixed shape and volume due to strongly attracted particles, liquids having a fixed volume but changing shape from weakly attracted particles, and gases having particles with weak attractions and filling their container.

Particles

The differences between solids, liquids and gases can be


explained by looking at the particles.
 All substances are made up
of particles.
 The particles are attracted to
each other. Some particles
are attracted strongly to each
other, and others weakly.
 The particles move around. They are
described as having kinetic energy.
 The kinetic energy of the particles
increases with temperature.
